Abstract:
:Placental function involves multiple different processes which operate at different scales from centimetres to nanometres. Everything that the placenta does from mediating blood flow to gene expression, occurs within a three-dimensional anatomical framework. This review outlines how multiscale three-dimensional imaging approaches can provide insight into placental structure and function. Three-dimensional imaging approaches include microCT, confocal, super resolution, light-sheet, and serial block-face scanning electron microscopy. Used together, these approaches allow three-dimensional imaging of the placenta across the scales at which different processes occur. Three-dimensional imaging illustrates the spatial relationships between structures and visualises structures that are not clearly apparent in two-dimensions. Understanding the three-dimensional structure of the placenta enables exploration of the relationship between structure and function, including through the development of computational models based on realistic geometries. Three-dimensional imaging approaches will enhance our understanding of placental function in health and disease.
